We’re On ‘The Psychedelic Express,’ Then It’s The Moody Blues and Todd Rundgren, on Thursday, September 26, 2024

Good morning, time travelers! Today we’re on ‘The Psychedelic Express’ to start the day, then it’s a Moody Blues Spotlight feature and live Todd Rundgren.

Here’s your mind-bending lineup:

9:00 a.m. The Psychedelic Express: Various Artists

The Psychedelic Era was a wonder to behold indeed and, once again, The Beatles pushed the envelope. In addition to them, you’ll hear Vanilla Fudge, The Chambers Brothers, the Electric Prunes, The Animals, Jefferson Airplane, Blues Image, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Donovan, Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Byrds, Jimi Hendrix, Traffic, Cream, Dr. John, Procol Harum, Fleetwood Mac, The Who, Canned Heat, Yes, Electric Light Orchestra, Tommy James & The Shondells, Mudcrutch, Blind Faith, The Grateful Dead, Velvet Underground, Big Brother & The Holding Company and more!

4:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of The Moody Blues

The band that started out singing R & B would eventually become one of the pioneers of the progressive rock genre. Today we’ve got them In the Spotlight.

Here’s a guy who defies all kinds of logic. Rundgren is a singer, songwriter and record producer who has indulged in a wide variety of styles as a member of Nazz and Utiopia, and as a solo artist. Today we have him in a live performance from Wisconsin.

We’re now on the downslide to the weekend once again, and we’re making the most of it here in The Mermaid Lounge. Did I mention that next week we’ll be debuting a brand new Laurel Canyon Playlist series? No? Well, we are, so stick around. The magic button is below.
